Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
The Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides over any joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament convened to resolve a deadlock over a bill. As per Article 108 of the Indian Constitution, when a bill is passed by one House and rejected or not agreed to by the other, the President may summon a joint sitting. In such cases, the Speaker leads the session. If the Speaker is absent, the Deputy Speaker or another person may preside as per the rules.
